Never trust anyone
It was Bloody
It was Tragic
It was Brutal

Ep. 01
That was actually a pretty good first episode!
If it stays like this, it’ll probably be a really great series.
I wonder what Sentai saw in this one as I, having seen episode one, didn’t see it. The plot summary sounds really cool but the execution was, well, less so.
BTW, why was the main character exempted from the normal 2 night routine?
